Many people have lost their parents, spouses or children, resulting in many women becoming widows and having to live alone. In this context, the phenomenon of widowhood and widowhood is becoming more and more common.

The fast-paced life, high-pressure work and the concept of attaching importance to personal freedom in modern society have prompted many people to choose celibacy or surgical infertility to avoid childbirth, making this marriage mode more common.
To sum up, the widowhood of marriage in China is not only influenced by traditional culture and historical background, but also changes in modern society.
